Numerical Simulation Study on the Submerged Pipe Depth of Air Bubbles Breakwater

Article Preview

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of air bubbles breakwater was presented in this paper. The two-phase fluid of water and air was assumed as a variable density fluid. The numerical models were developed by FLUENT in order to explore the air amount scale in the system of air bubbles breakwater . The impact of submerged pipe depth on the wave dissipating performance of air bubble breakwater was obtained, which illuminated that The submerged pipe depth D is deeper, the wave dissipating performance of air bubbles breakwater is better. Furthermore, the effect of air amount and the incident wave periods on the performance of the air bubbles breakwater was analyzed.
